Christmas 2012

Santa made an unexpected visit to Early Wines this year!  Workshop Elves started with a bourbon barrel head found in Louisville, KY for authenticity, then outsourced artistic license to a wood carver in Asheville, NC to make this exquisite, one-of-a-kind gift.

Que Syrah Syrah!

Just in time for the holiday's, Early Wines has released a rich California Syrah.  This latest release benefits from the longest aging in our oak barrel to-date: two months in hungarian oak, with a handful of French oak chips added in the final weeks for extra character.  The sleek new label features Earl from his Thanksgiving photo-shoot.  Be sure to see the Label Archives for the backstory.

Happy Birthday Benjamin!

Benjamin is Earl's best friend, so what better way to celebrate Benjamin's first birthday than with a special release of Early Wines?!  This limited release (only two bottles were made) is packed with organic grape juice - only the finest for the distinguished tastes of the neighborhood's youngest wine connoisseur.

Merry Christmas!!!

The holiday season is in full swing and Earl is getting excited to share good times and good wine with friends and family.  We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
